Full Definition
Nasir-i Khusraw (1004-1088 CE) was one of the greatest Ismaili philosophers, poets, and missionaries (daʿis). His extensive travels, documented in his Safarnama (Book of Travels), took him from his native Khurasan to Egypt and back. He authored numerous philosophical and poetic works in Persian that remain fundamental to Ismaili thought, including the Jami' al-Hikmatayn and Zad al-Musafirin.
